Care To Prove Me Wrong?

What makes life the rubbish that it is?

Can it be that there is indeed some good in life after all?

Why then do we treat each other like this?

And why do we claim to care when we let others fall?

----------------------------------------------------------

We bask in the glory of others' demise.

We revel in the mysteries of the human mind.

We will wish bad of others, and others likewise.

For there is no such thing as being gentle and kind.

----------------------------------------------------------

Did you honestly think that fairness really exists?

Were you hoping for justice to prevail?

Bad news kid. The world you live in is filled with corruption and deceits.

And every crooked politician's got you bowing in vail.

Do You Think It's You...

Humanity is extremely passe. Everyone's new year's resolution SHOULD be - Hate more, Love less, Kill more, Care less, Blame others for everything that goes wrong, Claim credits for whatever everyone ELSE does RIGHT, Blatantly discredit Jeremy for everything he says, Vehemently disagree with everything Jeremy says that's got a point and lets not forget to respect TEACHERS...even if they insult you, call you a bastard, idiot, damned fool, etc.

I have to agree with a certain ex-class monitor who said "Not every teacher is a good teacher. There really are some inconsiderate teachers out there". Still, life goes on and we find ourselves having to respect these people who SHOULD be setting an example for us. Yet, I find that these people; teachers, if you may; are setting for us an example by insulting students, hurling snide remarks at students, defaming students, etc.

With that said, HOW can students still RESPECT teachers? Bear in mind people, respect isn't meant to be GIVEN...nor is it just a normal seven letter word either. To be respected is to be held in high regard or esteem by others. So, HOW can we look up to these foul mouthed beasts, monsters?

It is in my opinion that respect should be earned and not demanded. He can demand respect from every student in Sri Tebrau like the over-sized, insolent, incompetent, dumb, expandable, stupid, bloody, afternoon session, damned fool of a retarded Santa Claus replica that HE is. However, I for one, will never respect the likes of HIM. For he has not and he will never earn it.

Other teachers like Madam Gan Ser Kee, Sri Tebrau's soft-spoken and caring ex-counselor, have earned my respect for being tactful. Bobby, the prefect master, is caring and relaxed. Madam Wendy, Senior Assistant of Co-Curriculum, is energetic, laid-back, calm and fun. Ms Sheela, form teacher of 4 Science 1 (2009), is stern, loving, caring and altruistic. All OTHER teachers, in my opinion, are respectable. But, the MOMENT that any ONE of them DEMANDS respect, that is the moment they lose mine.

All the above said teachers have GAINED my respect because they never asked for it, they have enough humanity in them to HELP others yet hardly asking anything in return. It is this attitude of theirs that compels me to contribute as much as I can to repay them for the kindness, care, concern and time that they have given me all this while.

But, there is one teacher in particular who has neither rank nor file, yet he acts like he owns the whole school. Even as I type these words of damnation in MY blog, that teacher(if he were to read) would think that I'm referring to HIM. Please note, I did not say who this megalomaniac is...and I'm not as stupid as he is to divulge his identity here.

My point being, CERTAIN teachers SHOULD learn their place and the term "respect" is a point of view that is meant to be earned through acts of kindness and most soitenly not to be demanded like THAT bungling, bumbling, enlarged, obnoxious, math-failing, weighing scale illiterate, student-brawling, idiot.

Truths...

"A kiss is a promise, easily broken.
A hug is a lie, always unspoken.
A touch is fragile, so quickly taken.
A smile is elusive, so soon forsaken.

A friend is a person who betrays you slowly.
A lover is a person who treats you as lowly.
An equal is a person who doesn’t exist.
A mentor is someone better than this.

A life is brittle, unfairly crushed.
A funeral is a rite, so long untouched.
A death is a milestone, so often passed.
A life is something that can never last.

So take the promises even if they break.
Hold onto illusions despite that they’re fake.
Remember betrayal because before it was trust.
Remember the touches that lead into lust.

Love the lies that made you feel loved.
Hold to your place despite who’s above.
Follow the rites though they end only in pain.
Remember what you’ve lost for you’ve so much to gain.

Always remember the first sincere kiss.
Remember the truths that lead to it.
Remember the person you shared it with.
Remember the love that succeeded it.

Keep the memories that hurt you.
Hold onto the ones that cause pain.
Remember every broken heart.
In the end only memories remain."

Remember...

Forget not our days of joy.

When you and I, both fought for a toy.

----------------------------------------------------------

Today, as I walked down the street.

I saw Timmy dragging his feet.

But when I asked him why.

He answered me with a cry.

"Oh if only men had compassion.

How I will live life full of passion.

But alas, men are unkind and cold.

Yesterday, a father stood in front of the world.

His children amongst the crowd, watching.

Others, merely waiting.

On the stage mingled the rich.

A robed man was dragged from below to preach.

He spoke of the lord.

While the executioner sharpened his sword.

The preacher was then asked to pray for the convict.

That his soul be condemned to hell through an edict.

Murmurs arose in fleets.

Soon, everyone were on their feet. 

Order was lost, and peace was never found on that day.

Every protester and rioter were silenced the only way."

----------------------------------------------------------

Forget not our days of joy.

Forget not the times we'd cry.

Remember the happy moments.

Remember not the sad pasts.

But look instead toward the future.

And live for the present, in a green pasture.

For after this life is done.

And we're all gone.

Only one thing will remain.

Let that be the friendship we've attained.

Humanity and Human Nature...

A long long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, that I could make those people dance and, maybe, they'd be happy for a while. But february made me shiver with every paper I'd deliver. Bad news on the doorstep;I couldn't take one more step.

The classic hit American Pie, whose lyrics are somewhat sad. The one thing I like about it is, the song never fails to remind me what a cold world I live in. The song tells the death of singers and assassinations of prominent politicians.

Take for example, Abraham Lincoln. He died by the hands of John Wilkes Booth, and John F.Kennedy whose murder case still has no verdict to date.

Why? Why do people kill each other? Whatever happened to humanity? Or is it just human nature that drives everyone to stab each other's backs? 

I can't say much for humanity, but I can attest to the fact that people, generally, would go to any lengths just to get ahead in life. I can't really say I blame them. After all, what are a few people who once considered you their friend when compared to the riches and luxury that you can attain by selling your soul, morals, ethics, beliefs, every bit of humanity in you and spinning falsehood about everyone just to get them into trouble?

Humanity is defined as the quality of being humane. Yet, all I see and ever get in this worthless life are people hurling insults at me, condemning me to hell every single minute of the day, trying to kill me, going out of their way to make life hell for me, stabbing me in my back, destroying my reputation, diluting my credibility and STILL, after all that, they EXPECT me to help them.

After all that I've seen, don't blame me, don't hold a grudge against me when I say that everyone's just a filthy hypocrite who praises the lord, but just as well worships the devil. So, God, if you do exist...what's happened to this world you created? Why is it now overrun with swines and incompetent fools who will not stop to look into a mirror?
